The Cleveland City Council is meeting tonight to discuss a proposed liquor store referendum.
City administrator Kevin Harris is expected to present information to the council about allowing package sales in the city. If the council approves, the referendum would go before voters in November.
In February, businessman Ed Ward asked the council to consider allowing liquor stores in Cleveland. Ward said the site of his former business, JW Reed’s Tavern, would be a good location for a package store. The tavern was located at 318 North Main Street in Cleveland. It burned in 2019.
